Total employees at the start = 674+21+158+68+135
Total employees at the end = 674+21+160+68+200
Difference = (160-158)+(200-135) = 67
There are 67 more employees at the end of month 12, despite 145 employees leaving. Therefore total new joiners = 145+67 = more than 100.
and since no of employees in executive leadership remains constant even after the total number of employees has increased, therefore there's a % decrease.
